See this: http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml

That indicates that you have a typo in IP address - the IP address is not local
and BGP waits for such prefix to appear.

In your config you have: neighbor 2001:67c:39c:8001::8000:a as 65535;

But you try connect from: 2001:67c:39c:8000::8000:a
which is in a different network.
